The best thing you can do for your jewelry collection is to invest in a good storage system. I'll show you a few of my favorites and post a couple of youtube videos from diy'ers who'll show you clever solutions for less.

To keep your piece looking its best, whether fine jewelry or fashion jewelry, it needs to be worn often, and stored in a cool, dry olace when not in use. 

Tarnish results from the process of oxidation. When your  silver jewelry is exposed to air, a reaction occurs. Your jewelry will begin to darken and feel a bit sticky or gummy. If this already happened, hop  my post about removing tarnish. 

To PREVENT tarnish, place your jewelry in a plastic bag. Seal it and store your jewelry in a protective box. 

There are special bags and anti tarnish pads available online, I purchase mine  from amazon.com

To protect my earrings, I like to store them on this gorgeous copper rack I found on amazon.com: 

Additionally,I purchased this jewelry box for my Mom for christmas: 

The any compartments make for great storage. 

Sometimes I find jewelry boxes at thrift shops. Repairing and restoring them can be a fun weekend project!
